There were a bunch of lemonade stands at Coachella long before Beyoncé performed there. Really.

Anyway … We came, we saw, we walked a lot — and below you can find links to our coverage of Weekend 1 of Coachella 2018. As is our norm, Buzz Bands LA correspondents Andrew Veeder and Kevin Bronson wrote these as daily diaries. We hope it gives you the sense of a hungry festival-goer trying to cram as much desert experience as possible into one day. We hope we didn’t complain about blisters too much.
